Fresh from prison, Charlie begins to work on a heist that will either set him up for life - or send him up forever. Charlie and his unruly lot of thieves take on the mob, the police and the gridlocked traffic of Turin to rob a heavily armed shipment of gold bullion.

This crime/action movie is as much about spectacular car, speedboat, and helicopter chase scenes as about safe-cracking. It illustrates the role of luck (unexpected events) in the success or failure of a crime. The movie warns of the potential vulnerabilities of our web-based computer systems to "remote control".
